Re: XC oriented ski for max float on dry snow

Wow - what a great problem to have. I guess you could make a pair of fat planks like that trapper from Happy People or buy a used pair of Rossignol Boreals.

Re: How would you repair a cracked duckbill 50 miles into the wilderness?

Ahhh... what else but duct tape. Wrap a half roll on your poles. Acts as a second grip. Indepensible. I needed a functional repair for multi-day use over a long period. While I don’t think duct tape would’ve actually worked, even if I had been able to completely tape my boot to the ski, this would’...

Re: Questions on Meidjos Setup

Well I bought Scott Voodoos. The demos came with large Meidjos which only accommodate Scapa/Crispi 26.5 or Scott 26. I wear 26 so had to go this way. I hear mixed reviews on Scott. I personally like a soft toe. I hear that's Scott. But am a little concerned about stiff collar. We'll see.

Re: Kids Tele Gear Setups

Boreals... that was a good idea, Chick! Thanks - wish I would have used the supercarve risers with them tho - hard to get an edge on hardpack. Mounting them was a chore - had (Spring Street Sports) to grind the screws down so they wouldn't break thru. I don't want to remount them with the risers - ...
